Laragh's discoveries, which won him a share in the $50,000 Stouffer Prize in 1969, explained the hormonal controls of blood pressure for the first time. They also permitted the development of a renin profile-a computer-aided analysis of the patient's hormonal output. There are patients with low renin levels who nonetheless have high blood pressure; excess of fluid is probably at the root of their problem.

Certainly Vernon Stouffer, after 43 years in the business, will not be dismayed when Litton Chairman Tex Thornton and his West Coasters take over. He will stay on as chairman, but only last year his family bought the Cleveland Indians, and, he says, "I'm looking forward to spending more time at the ballpark...
